What are the optics from heaven, if you can imagine yourself there, of a person down here.....disseminating intelligent design as an article of faith?

Yeah, could be. I didn't intend to be spiteful.

Read it again, and slowly. In this hypothetical world..you are here on earth disseminating intelligent design when it is not factual...in the sight of god. This approaches a relationship I could only call blasphemous.
Do you believe that you have the right to impose falsehood on christ? Do you believe that this is an important issue?

Look, OP, I really have no problem with you on a personal level, but when you come to a forum where I presume a lot of people believe themselves to be completely rational individuals and use a different measuring stick than they do for what can be proven, you are going to get beat up.

I;m starting to wonder whether there;s anything unmiraculous in the entire universe to our afflicted friend.
Actually, I think this could be an interesting discussion topic. IMO either everything is miraculous or nothing is.

Yeah, he intended to come here to teach us, not to have a discussion or learn anything.
Clearly all this has no relevance to Christianity anyway since it wasn't discovered until relatively recently. Christians already believed we've been magically engineered, and no matter what science showed up about us, they were going to take it as evidence.

No, he came here expecting to bowl us over with his "knowledge." I'll bet it's really burning his ass that we're laughing at him.

He expects us to all instantly decide we are wrong, without ever considering for a second that he might be wrong. He could do with reading some real science by some real scientists instead of all this creationist spiel.

You butchered that one.
DNA contains an extremely sophisticated code! Hence, it is designed. Debate over, living systems have a Designer.
OMG! Did you just knock over the chess pieces and shit on the board? You are hilarious...
Here's a pro tip. Keep your fables to yourself. Once you try to reconcile them with reality, that's when reality kicks you in the butt.
Remember, reality is your enemy, not us. Your fantasy can never fit into this reality without mental triple backwards somersaults... And it's entirely your decision to be deluded.
All because you think there's an extra life for you in the end... Time to grow up matey....
